    i have my stockers if you want'em. There isn't an appreciable difference in ride height between my car and the OBS (0.2")

    EDIT: forgot about being the tleg. Dunno if they would fit. Will bring a front and rear by tonight.

    ^I hope I have mine figured out!

    I will be coming down to take some photos. I am looking forward to getting a chance to use my DSLR again (Ice Race was the first real test). Urabusvids wil be riding down with me and he is bringing his video camera. if any spectators would like to spot for yus wit would be great or else we wil need to switch of between ourselves.

    3-5 inches of snow should make this a lot of fun. Although the drive home might not be as fun (stupid people who cant drive in snow). I kind of wish it was going to be rain so there would be more mud a flyin'.

    see everyone tomorrow.

    It just won't be a MN Rally Cross without the snow in March. I think it will be a ton of fun. Enjoy and be safe guys and gals.

    Well, after many buckets of warm water and $9 at the car wash my car is nice and clean again. I had fun today, but I would have preferred snow (it melts for free :) ) over the mud. The experience of driving on that surface was worth it though, very slick conditions.

    Thank to Carl and Ryan for running the event. I think it went well.

    And yes, pictures please.

    You be patient.

    I'm going through every single damn photo and picking what to upload and what not to. I'll likely only upload a few hundred.

    Yeah it was. Very fun, though. The first and second corners were sweet.


    Though i will admit to severely overcooking it during the last run group. :laugh:




    cmspaz: teasers then! jeez...

    That's how I drove it home, just with the headlights and front windows cleaned. Once I got home I was persuaded to wash it.

    Great event. Thanks Carl and Ryan. That was a fun event. Really slippery and very interesting in the new car. Give me a little time and I'll learn the car and I'll be quicker.
    Great job Amy on dethroning Mark for the day. You are really getting fast. Congrats.

    I had a great time! The venue was great and so was everyone there! Thanks a bunch Carl, Ryan, and everyone else who had a play in putting this event on. Now that I have seen my first rally-x I will be very tempted to drive in the next one ;-)

    But then I wont get the chance to take as many pictures as I did today. The final count was just shy of 1400 pics. I have gone through about 50 of them so far and they are looking pretty good. I will slowly start posting them online as I go through them.

    here is a preview of my shots.

    It appears that I have quite a few series of people taking out cones. I might have to make some gifs.

    Thanks Ryan, Carl, Mary and Carrie for a great event.

    If we can arrange for continued slippery conditions for the rest of the year, I may have the season locked up. As long as Derek stays out of M4 :)

    Great pics Jeremy. Thanks for coming down to shoot. Love the Legacy mud dive shot.

    It was a great event and I had fun watching it. Carl, Ryan and everybody else did a great job putting the event together.

    It was just too cold for me ... I had to leave before catching serious cold!

    ?!!?!? maybe you need to get a little more mud on your car! ;) my wheels feel like they're going to fall off the car if i go over 50 and i can still smell the burning mud and grass coming from on top of the skidplate even *after* pressure-washing at one of those DIY carwashes. (at least i hope it's mud and grass... :hsugh:)


    thanks for a great event everyone!

    Well if Sheen would stop running over cones, bushes, and tall grass it wouldn't be a problem. Are you sure you weren't instructing him? He could use the help.;):biggrin:
